Pa sheriff raffling off an ar-15. God knows this wouldn't happen in nj but at least it's not to far away. To bad we couldn't claim it.

actually it is happening in NJ. A local PD is raffling off an AR by me.

Wy don't we set up a NJGF raffle?

yea, maybe do a njgf lower on a decent build and couple it with a bottle of wine and 1hr spa gift certificate. call it the his and hers raffle

Didn't NJ2AS do an AR10 raffle last year? It's not unheard of in NJ.

 

Though, I think the key takaway here is that it's the Sheriff's Office that's hosting the raffle, not a gun dealer, range or 2A group.

Yeah that's really what drew my attention. A rifle that is banned by name in nj is being raffled off 15 mins away.

Raffling a firearm off in NJ is prohibited by law.

I believe a shooting group in Vernon does this now. My electrician won a Dan Wesson kit with four barrels.

How does the NRA do it via auction then at the banquet each year?

 

Isn't there usually a firearms door prize as well?

 

Very interestng. I never heard of that statute before but this state never fails to surprise.

I may be understanding it wrong, but that prohibited prizes only apply to licensee's. You usually need to have a license to hold a raffle, but some organizations do not need one "when the entire net proceeds of such games of chance are to be devoted to educational, charitable, patriotic, religious or public-spirited uses."

 

Like I said though, I may be mistaken.

The Friends of the NRA banquets don't actually deliver the firearm at the banquet and they have an auction, as opposed to a raffle or game of chance. That's how I got in trouble last one - just had to have a limited edition 1911 - cost me dearly.
